Our Key Note Speaker, France Rust at the June 2009 NAECTE research symposium sponsored by the NAEYC Institute for Professional Development inspired an ongoing dialogue and call to action for each of us at our respectice Universities.
Frances urged our group to action in addressing the challenges currently confronting early childhood teacher educators. Those in attendance were eager to continue the dialog that followed Frances' talk, requesting an on-line forum for doing so.
